College Academic PerformanceCohort 2 is in their second semester of college as of this writing. Thus, there is limited collegeacademic performance and retention data for them. However, we examined several objectiveindicators that were available: fall semester math course grades, fall semester grade pointaverage, and spring semester enrollment at the University. The data are shown in Table 2 for thebridges combined and in Tables 5a and 5b for the programs separately. Math course letter gradeswere converted to a numeric grade point equivalent using a standard scale (e.g., A = 4.0, F =0.0). Students who participated in the math-intensive summer bridge programs earnedstatistically higher grades, by half a letter grade, in their first college math

Leadership literature and leadership from history: Students were regularly assigned articles and books on leadership and leaders. Students then were required to write reflections on these and to discuss these within the class. 2.

As Erin Cech writes,“Prioritizing certain ‘technical’ features (faster, smaller, cheaper vs. quality or sustainability) overothers is a social and political choice at its core. Thus, the notion that engineering work cansomehow be separated from the social world is itself a cultural frame for understanding whatengineering is [13].” We envision an innovative engineering culture that is inherentlyinterdisciplinary, engaging faculty across engineering departments and across campus toprovide students with an engineering

, 2].In engineering education research, belongingness is often investigated through the experiences ofwomen in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and careers [6, 7].Tonso found that “Women belonged only in the social arenas of Greek societies, not asengineers” [8, p. 365]. Women were excluded from the social activities in engineering availableto their male peers and thus had decreased perceptions of belonging. In a survey of 288undergraduate engineering students, Cech and colleagues [9] found that students, especiallywomen, who developed confidence in their fit with the engineering profession were more likelyto persist in engineering. Other studies have also shown that creating an alignment betweenwomen’s

Design challenges push students to pay attention to the public interests anddifferent perspectives of community members, government officials, etc., as they work tounderstand and solve design problems. In addition, design challenges require both teamwork andindividual participation. This allows students to practice working with peers, similar to workingwithin a community of professionals.
